If we "know a hawk from a banduw." that lawyer* run the country and the government. *??< ' and national. So far a? their own Interests go. they make a bowling sue iceaa of the Job During the last tew >?ar# they have undertaken the u<1 dlttonal Job of pulling agriculture out of the bog. A? they know little or nothing about farming it la not #ui prising that they encounter all sorts of #nag# In this work. Being Ignor am ours we took time oh to follow their argument# pretty close ly on the farm bill Me are still lg iiorant. as they aeein to be. When >ou read the dellverancea of the pro pone a t? you tig u re that they have the right bull by the horna and on a aafe road to a glorious agricultural feast Then an opponent hops up to prove that It will whirl the country over the precipice Into bankruptcy. That forces us back on our own horse sense. Twenty-live yeurs ago the very thought of congress and courts taking away our liberties to plant what wo pleased, was rank poison and unthinkable. As time marched on it was plain that the country was up against hard conditions as well as old theories. We favored the old Bankhead bill. That we were up against a new age and new conditions, must have been plain to all thinking people. We are told that 20 per cent of farm lands and buildings are mortgaged and 42 per cent of the farmers hi* v#> hftonmo tenants Certainly a very discouraging outlook. We lay little stress upon the cry that a control of acreage has raised our foreign cotton markets. Increased cotton acreage has been on the way for years in other countries, regardless of what America did. This will continue. That being the case It Is all the more necessary for this country to look out for Itself by reducing the execesalve cotton crops. What the government ought to do is lend its aid and encouragement towards controlling the excessive pauper baby crops, and placing a stronger and tighter hand against foreign Immigration to this country. Few farmers can thrive on even 8 cents cotton and 40 cents corn. There must bo a change. Fanners should promptly learn about these "base acreages " i Delay sometimes makes them very ("base." Lands should be promptly ; measured Not dilly-dally and then talk about "base acreages" being abused. It matters not how they are (plotted, agents will come along to decide. Why not go In time to prevent trouble. A few years ago, lands prepared "lor cotton, with fertilizers down, had to be changed to other crops. The government is too slow. Some complain of the teeth and penalties in the new bill. It was even charged that a farmer could be jailed, which is not true. Short of that, there should be penalties and teeth. A farmer who refuses to cooperate Bhould not be given advantages over those who do. Let us all hope for the beat.?Calhoun Times. To Meet With Abney The Kershaw County Singing Convention will meet at Abney Baptist church on Sunday afternoon, March 6, at 2; 30 o'clock.
